Curlew on the Run - A Hilarious Marshland Marathon!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this uproarious snapshot captured by FLPA/Roger Tidman, we witness the comical antics of an adult Eurasian Curlew as it takes part in a wacky race through Norfolk's saltmarshes. With its long legs and determined expression, this feathered athlete is giving Usain Bolt a run for his money! As the curlew dashes across the muddy terrain, you can almost hear Benny Hill's iconic theme tune playing in the background. Its flapping wings and outstretched neck create a hilarious spectacle that would leave even Charlie Chaplin chuckling. This isn't your average marathon; forget about fancy sports gear or energy gels! Our avian friend relies solely on its natural abilities to navigate these tidal estuaries with grace (or perhaps clumsy charm). The marshlands become its very own obstacle course, filled with squelchy mud pits and slippery seaweed patches. The coastal backdrop adds an extra touch of whimsy to this already amusing scene. As waves crash against the shore and seagulls cheer from above, our curlew hero fearlessly charges forward towards victory. So next time you're feeling down or need a good laugh, just take one look at this photo print. It serves as a reminder that nature has an incredible sense of humor too – even when it comes to running races in marshes!
